Bill > SB979

This bill amends existing law, which requires cities and counties to plan for housing needs, by adding a provision that makes the final decisions made by councils of governments (regional planning bodies) or their delegate subregions regarding the allocation of housing needs to local governments subject to judicial review, meaning these decisions can be challenged in court. This change provides a legal avenue for local governments or the state's Department of Housing and Community Development to appeal decisions about how many housing units they are required to plan for, ensuring that these allocations are made fairly and in accordance with established methodologies and objectives.
